Some doodles centered around Akari and her Father. They have an interesting relationship but make no mistake, she means the world to Hotaru.
Alora and Kozo like to poke fun at how much itโs like having a mini slightly tamer Haganezuka in a blonde wig.

Akari is much like a cat and prone to roaming and choosing which place she stays at. She does always let her mother know and she only stays either at Kotetsuโs, Grandpa Tetsuido, or Hotaruโs when not with her.
Most times sheโll stay at Hotaruโs work hut and leave for his home with him, but on this particular day he seemed to be extremely busy and focused so she didnโt interrupt him and hung out with Kotetsu.
She wanted to stay at her fatherโs home though and left when it was time for bed, leaving through Kotetsuโs window, (like I said, cat but Alora also does this) and climbing into her dadโs window before getting ready for bed and curling up on his futon.
Hotaru came home during the twilight hours to find her asleep in his room. Needless to say dad mode kicked on and he pulled the blanket up a bit more before he sat and watched her sleep.

The Haganezuka face of wrath is strong in the bloodline and Alora canโt believe that the other smiths in the village donโt see that theyโre related.

When Kotetsuโs Father passed away from illness it shocked Akari. Sheโs a smart kid and was aware of things like where babies come from and of course death, but it never hit her until then.
She tried for be there for Kotetsu and his family, but she started to have a panic attack as the realization of her lifespan hit her and she ran to her father. Needless to say that Hotaru had never dropped a sword or broke concentration until the broken sobbed word โDad,โ came from his workshop doorway.
Akari broke down talking about how she was going to far outlive him, outlive Kozo, and even Kotetsu and his family. Sheโd outlive everyone.
Of course Hotaru knew sheโd outlive him regardless if she were human or witch but Akari had NEVER cried in front of him before and needless to say it alarmed him and he didnโt touch a sword for the rest of that day and even the next.
He and Alora had to have a long talk with Akari about life and death and about how witches view it as stopping one existence and moving onto another. (Thereโs more to it but I donโt want to write more than necessary) It helped a bit and they even went to comfort Kotetsu and his family.

Akari idolizes her Dad and wants to know all about him, but Hotaru isnโt much for sharing about his childhood.
Fortunately (or rather unfortunately for Hotaru) Tecchin is all too happy to share stories about Hotaruโs life and childhood.
Hotaru didnโt want to tell anyone that Akari was his as a means to protect her from his reputation and Alora from any sort of scrutiny and revealing of her being a witch and not a full spirit being.
That being said at times heโs almost sure that Tecchin KNOWS because anytime Hotaru is in the vicinity of the two hanging out, Tecchin will tell Akari the most EMBARRASSING stories.
And Akari just absorbs the information.
Tecchin doesnโt really get why Akari is so curious about Hotaru but he knows her mother was quite friendly with him so that was likely it. He wonโt pass up a chance to embarrass his adopted son a bit though.
